Faculty

The staff of the University of Richmond Museums are committed to supporting faculty teaching, research, and engagement across all schools and disciplines. As teaching museums dedicated to the academic community, the URMs offer many forms of support for University of Richmond course engagements.

Teaching with our Collections

We offer two teaching classrooms, staff support in researching the collection for faculty, as well as staff-guided tours, discussion-leading, and short presentations to classes.

Customized Tours

We are available to customize an interactive tour of a special exhibition for your course topics and learning objectives. Open-ended questioning and active learning techniques are employed in these tours to encourage critical thinking and communication skills.

Exhibition Curation

When deciding what to display in the galleries of the Harnett Museum of Art and the Lora Robins Gallery, we prioritize the teaching and research topics of UR faculty across all fields and disciplines (while also promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in what we display).
